Eco-friendly Fertilizer, Commercial Bio-Char Now Available

Alex Tiller - Tuesday, October 06, 2009

Mantria Industries opened its Mantria EternaGreen Center on August 1, 2009 in Dunlap, Tennessee. The company claims the facility is the world’s largest BioChar plant - and the only commercial operation of its kind. The Center's output of BioChar can potentially sequester 96,000 tons of CO2 per year and will convert 43,000 tons of biomass waste to 32,000 tons of EternaGreen™ BioChar annually. Additionally, the facility will produce enough BioElectricity to power more than 1,200 households. In the fields next to the center, Mantria Industries plans to grow bamboo, switch and elephant grasses as feedstock for the plant, earning carbon credit in the process.
